I shoot SP's quite a bit and have for years. I bought my first Contender in 1979 and have had a love/hate relationship with them ever since. I have flirted with XP's and Strikers too but am currently in the break open business with three Contenders and an Encore.

Yep,
That one was a 6.5-20 VariX-III, the gun was wearing a cut down .243 rifle barrel at that time and that was as big as I felt comfortable shooting without a brake, even at that I had to be careful. I have since replaced the Savage with an Encore with a custom 6MM-.284 barrel.
